How does a girl go from fun flirting -> "OMG have you ever went down on your ex!?" -> "OMG I dunno what to do about my ex boyfriend."

I was all worked up. I think I'm never talking to her again.

I don't understand what you're saying. Did she say the first thing first and then go on to the second part?

 

[Trajan12]

First we were flirting then the subject of sex came up and she(fit of jealousy I suppose) asked me if I ever went down on my previous girlfriend.

Then afterwards, in the long stretch of silence with the mood bing entirely ruined, she starts talking about her ex. Putting the nail firmly in the coffin.

Are you sure upon this? Was she not trying to make you jealous perhaps? Trying to force you to do something to her, so she won't go back to her ex?

 

[Trajan12]

I have not thought of that. Heh, if she was she backfired...

Either way you don't bring up exes during foreplay, it's the unforgivable sin.

Maybe she was nervous? What I'm saying is, don't give up with her!

Haha, I'm not. Just some conversation rules are gonna have to be laid...

 

[Elrohir]

I'm neither, and I drink tea.

Mostly because I can't stand the smell or taste of coffee. I know, I'm a heretic. But drinking coffee (Or not drinking tea) to fit in would be as ******** as drinking one or the other for the purpose of standing out. So screw you guys.

So am I part metrosexual part Machosexual??
Or are the stereotypes just plain wrong?

Man charged with insider trading

By BEN FINLEY
Bucks County Courier Times

LOWER MAKEFIELD - A Lower Makefield man was charged last week with making more than $1 million on an insider trading deal on Wall Street.

Alan L. Tucker, 46, of Friar Drive, was a partner in a New York-based financial consulting firm and a tenured professor of finance when he committed 10 counts of securities fraud, according to federal officials.

In fall 2006, one of Tucker's partners allegedly tipped him off about a soon-to-be inked, $2.8 million cash merger between two companies. Tucker allegedly bought more than 20,000 shares and other stock options of the company that was about to be bought.

When the deal went public, Tucker's stocks soared in price. He made more than $1 million in illegal profits, according to the Securities and Exchange Commission and a U.S. Attorney's Office in New York.

The companies that merged were International Securities Exchange Holdings Inc. and Eurex, a European derivative exchange. Eurex now owns ISE. Tucker was partners with his alleged co-conspirators, John Marshall and Mark Larson, both of New York State, in the financial consulting firm Marshall Tucker & Associates LLC.

According to federal authorities, Marshall was on the board of ISE when he told Tucker and Larson about the merger. Larson profited from some ISE stock he purchased, according to court documents.

All three face a maximum of 20 years in prison for each of the 10 counts of securities fraud and a maximum $5 million fine. Each faces one count of conspiracy to commit securities fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

A woman who answered the door at Tucker's house said she didn't think he would want to comment. The Courier Times was unsuccessful in reaching Tucker through e-mails sent to his addresses at Pace University and New York University, where he teaches.

Tucker and his pals should've known better, said R. Foster Winans, a Doylestown man who spent time in federal prison for insider trading.

“It looks like your standard, plain vanilla, stupid, ridiculous, fraudulent act of someone who thinks they can make a quick buck on the inside,” he said Tuesday.

Winans, a former Wall Street Journal reporter who used his job to get insider information, said it's not hard to get caught.

“Every time a security trades, there's a human being somewhere who has a financial interest in the outcome of that trade,” he said. “If I'm the guy who sold the stock options to the inside trader, I'm the guy who's going to say, "I got screwed.' ”

He added: “Somebody's going to notice. And they're going to turn you in for it. That's how I got caught.”

Why am I quoting this? Alan Tucker is one of my finance professors.

Though that would explain why class was cancelled on the 12th. I wasn't able to make it to this week's class, but I doubt he said anything on it. Wouldn't be good defense policy to do so, even if you're innocent.

This is some serious business.

What's a T***?

Twit?

Twit?

Isn't a T expletive ryhming with splat a common one across the pond?

I would say it, but the mods would start crying and bubbling. Sorry.

Yes .

 

[salty mud]

Really? Way-hey.

I feel that "girl threads" are making a comeback. Or at least, discussion similar to what you would find in "girl threads".

And as for YOU, Salty, I would recommend looking at why she may have started to ignore you. There's probably no real reason. Maybe she is frustrated with the lack of movement in the little "friendship", and by ignoring you she feels she will push you into approaching her?

I would consider approaching if I were you. Rejoice.
